The last remaining parking lot — including the dirt lot — at the Alameda Station park-n-Ride will close April 6 for construction, the Regional Transportation District announced Friday in a news release.

Light rail service into Alameda Station, 425 S. Cherokee St., will continue as normal, but bus routes 3, 34 and 52 will be rerouted with stops on South Cherokee Street. The bus turnaround loop will also permanently close.

Limited parking will be available at the Broadway Marketplace park-n-Ride 100 yards to the east of Alameda Station, along West Virginia Avenue between South Cherokee and South Bannock streets.

Alternative stations nearby include the I-25/Broadway Station or the Decatur/Federal Station along the West Rail Line, which has 1,100 parking spaces.

RTD is collaborating with the city of Denver, the Denver Urban Renewal Authority and real estate company D4 Urban on a pilot project to make the Alameda Station into a centerpiece for an integrated, walkable community. The station will have an enhanced plaza, new bus waiting areas and more accessible routes to link the station to the community.
